I really had no expectations of any one band in particular, but I can't say that i'm disappointed. Seems like a solid choice.

I disagree, completely.

Last year's music was fantastic, and from the bands listed on the after-Blizzcon survey I thought it would be even better this year. But, NO !I am extremely disappointed and wish I didn't buy my ticket.

I absolutely love Muse. I literally made an embarrassing sound when I saw this.

Gonna have to see who this is. I probably have heard their music and just didn't know their name.

If it's a South Seas expansion with a nautical, pirate theme, they should've had Alestorm perform. Such a wasted opportunity.

Don't be amused to know that I have never heard of even this band's name. I think I am getting old(er)....

Please dear god donate your ticket to me!Muse is the band= South Sea Rising Tide Queen Azshara (Cata caverns of time dungeon well of eternity shows us that she is a Siren/Bard using her harp to mind control the magi) Muse/Siren/Bard next non-hero class may very well be the bard/muse class! Also make sense to add bard/muse/siren to a sea expansion/void/light expac Pirates and sailors used to have bard accompany them for tales and music of their travels, also sirens of the ocean were common mythological beings and Queen Azshara fits right in! Possibly Naga is a playable race if they can have legs while now in water but shift their legs into a tail while in water like worgens running wild racial also in myths murfolk were able to walk on land with legs and grow their tail in water this can be a solution to the "we cant play as naga because their tails".

Not one of my favorite bands, but of all the live acts out right now they are easily one of the best. Everyone I know who has seen one of their shows says it's mind blowing that so much sound can come from only 3 guys. I'd still love to see TOOL play Blizzcon some year, but Muse is solid.

Fully agreed. Given the wealth of fantasy content in WoW, and the wealth of fantasy based power metal bands, there's probably 100 bands out there that would have been more fitting. Hell, you could just ask Sam Didier in your art department and he would be able to recommend you at least 10 off the top of his head.

But what did they do? Get some safe toned down 'rock group' to close out their flagship convention.

Good job, Blizz. Is it New Year's already? I have to ask, because I just heard the unmistakable sound of a huge ball being dropped...

Uprising~ by Muse kinda sounds like an old God type song considering the Old Gods have been in control for longer than we know and they use trickery and mind control to gain powerStarlight~Muse is a kinda light/void song that would be good for our favorite armies of the light couple.knights of Cydonia~Muse is medevil sounding plus next xpac we may be timetraveling (remember chromie took us to the future lvl 112 with ilvl 1000 and we had to figure out who is assassinating her. (Might actually be old gods since she may be able to teleport us to the past to destroy the Old Gods in a Black Empire timetravel raid)
